According to local Arabs, four Hamas terrorists were killed in an IDF attack on Tuesday night.  The attack took place south of Khan Younis.  IDF spokesmen said the operation was in response to mortar shell attacks on Netiv HaAsarah earlier in the day.

A short time earlier, an IDF missile aimed at a rocket launching terrorist cell missed its target and hit a nearby house.  According to local Arabs, six civilians were wounded in the blast.  Their condition is not known at this time.
